Raising Critical Funds For Emergency Health Care

PEMBROKE, N.C., Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Friday, October 28th, marks UNC Health Southeastern Foundation's 10th Annual Boots & BBQ Denim & Diamond Celebration. For the fourth year in a row, Pembroke home health services provider HealthKeeperz is amongst the list of companies sponsoring the community event.

This emergency department is one of the busiest in the state, treating more than 60,000 patients annually.

Improvements will include shorter wait times and a modernized lobby design that reflects the current community.

Our long partnership with the UNC Health Southeastern Foundation aligns with our company values and our shared desire to give back to North Carolinians." Currently employing more than 150 caregivers across North Carolina, HealthKeeperz offers uncompromising levels of home care on par with elite hospitals and clinics.

This year's Boots & BBQ Celebration features live American country/folk music and catering by Fuller's Old-Fashioned BBQ. The event will take place from 7-11 p.m. at the arena at the Southeastern North Carolina Agricultural Events Center in Lumberton.
